Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 176: Luo Lin's Crisis
Bethel glanced at Amon and naturally heard the provocation in his words. He nodded generously and said, "He does support me."

This was the truth. Whether it was Rowling or Klein, when they talked to Him about the Lord of Mysteries, their attitude was simple: If you, sir, can become the Lord of Mysteries, no one will compete with you. We all support you. If you can't, let Klein take over.

Bethel could also see that Klein was truly not interested in the position of Lord of Mysteries. He even wished that he would rise up and become the Lord of Mysteries—even though they all knew that in their original destiny, the Lord of Mysteries was Klein.

As for Rowling, he didn't care who among them would become the Lord of Mysteries in the future, as long as it wasn't Amon.

It has to be said that this attitude made Bethel laugh and cry, but at the same time, he felt relieved from the bottom of his heart. He liked Rowling and Klein very much and didn't want to have a bad relationship with them because of the Lord of Mysteries.

Unlike Klein, Bethel aspired to the position of Lord of Mysteries, even though he knew very well what he would face after becoming one.

Amon obviously didn't expect to receive such an answer. He tutted, glanced at Bethel, and suddenly smiled and said, "You are indeed the one that everyone expected."

These words were full of emotion and rare sincerity. For Amon, if Bethel became the Lord of Mysteries in the future, he really wouldn't be too surprised.

As early as the Fourth Era, this old friend of his was the person closest to the Lord of Mysteries, even more competitive than Amon himself. This competitiveness not only refers to the sequence, but also to the support from others. If the other party had not been accidentally contaminated by the Outer Gods later, Bethel would have been the most likely person to become the Lord of Mysteries.

If Amon is condemned by everyone if he goes to the outside world at this moment, then if Mr. Men goes to the outside world in a normal state, I am afraid that even the old Coin in the Night will show up to support him to become the Lord of Mysteries.

Bethel looked at Him without any smugness on his face. He simply said, "If you weren't like that, you would have more potential than I do."

"Amon, maybe you should really try to gain some humanity."

Amon paused, lowered his eyes, and said nothing more.

Human nature...

"Jack, you will host the next mini-game." Rowling, who was wearing a Lucifer vest, didn't care what Amon was thinking. He looked at "Jack Jones" and gave the order.

"You only know how to assign tasks to me. You have no moral principles, old man." "Jack Jones" shook his head, then took out a small notebook from somewhere and said:

"The first game is an animal version of 'Draw and Guess'. Everyone participating will temporarily transform into an animal. The rules are simple. Two people will form a team. I'll give you a word. One person can see the word directly, but can't tell the other person directly. They can only express it through pictures. If the other person can guess the correct word, they get one point..."

Jack Jones briefly explained the rules of the game, then looked at everyone and said, "The group with the highest score will receive a reward. Those who submit a request to my teacher that does not violate His principles and wishes and is within His ability will also receive a consolation prize."

As soon as these words were spoken, the angels who were not very interested in the game were all stunned. They naturally did not care about the consolation prize, but the reward for first place was somewhat tempting. Many people present had wishes that needed the power of Lucifer to achieve, such as Azik who wanted to reunite with his children, and Amon who was eager to see his biological father.

Jack Jones continued with a smile, "Anyone who wants to participate can come and register with me." Everyone looked at each other, and Klein was the first to raise his hand. "Jack, count me in."

Although the possibility of winning was slim with so many bigwigs around, Klein, adhering to the principle of being already here, felt that he might as well not participate. What if he won?
Being able to see his family once a month could ease Klein's homesickness, but who would complain about such a thing being too little?
"I'll join in too." Azik smiled gently.

"Tsk!" Medici made a "tsk" sound, and thinking of Sasriel, he pushed his tongue against his teeth and said, "I'll just give you a favor and participate in your childish little game." The main character's body was burned to ashes, but his mouth was still hard.

"I certainly can't miss such an interesting thing." Amon raised his hand and pinched his monocle.

"I want to play." Ouroboros raised his hand a little late.

The others looked at each other, and except for Renette Tinicole, Maric, Pales and Bethel, they all chose to participate.

"Then Bethel, you will be responsible for supervision and prevention of cheating, right?" "Jack Jones" looked at Bethel and suggested.

"Okay." Bethel nodded with a smile.

Amon glanced at "Jack Jones." He didn't see anything special about the little guy in front of him, but he could tell that his identity seemed a little unusual. So he smiled and said, "You are..."

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by "Jack Jones", who looked at him with a smile and said, "I am Lucifer's student. You can call me Jack."

Lucifer... Amon only then noticed this name. He looked up at Lucifer next to him and guessed that this might be a fake identity he was using.

As for the other party's true identity... the name Rollin Zoroast flashed through Amon's mind, but was then crossed out.

After all, Amon knew very well that "Rolin Zoroast" was just a little guy from the Zoroast family who was devoured by "He", and the monster in front of him was not so much "Rolin Zoroast" as it was a monster that descended upon "Rolin Zoroast".

But... Amon thought of something, glanced at Lucifer next to him, smiled and said: "So your name is Lucifer now, I thought your name was..." Amon paused here.

"What's my name?" Lucifer looked up at Him, smiled calmly and said, "You can tell me that name, I don't mind. But..." He smiled and didn't say anything.

Amon choked back the name that was on the tip of his tongue under such circumstances. He could see that Rowling really didn't care about him saying the name "Rowling Zoroaster". But even if he didn't care, the other party would definitely retaliate against him.

If it were in the past, Amon really wouldn't care too much about being retaliated against, but now he is facing Rowling, who in a sense holds his lifeline in his hands.
